Before their time? Ever shoot one of these?

An acquisition I've been pursuing for about a year has come home to roost. I was curious about these since first seeing one five or six years ago, and now that particular pistol is mine.

Curiously, while waiting for the first one, I encountered another at auction online which needed obvious repair/parts. I low-balled it, and the fruit ripened and fell into my hands.

The tale of how replacement parts were acquired is something I'll add in a bit, but I thought I'd put up the pic of these "brothers" first, for your entertainment.

The history of their manufacture is quite interesting, too, so stay tuned.
